That Sleeping Canine film that Simu Liu teased earlier this week is likely to be a bit of additional in improvement than we thought.
The lifetime of a Sleeping Canine film is not a straightforward one; whereas it has been apparent for some time now {that a} sequel was by no means coming, there was hopes it might discover new life as a film, with Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Star Wars: Rogue One) initially meant to star in it. Close to the beginning of the month the actor shared that, because it turned out, that film is not taking place, though Yen apparently put lots of work into getting the sport tailored. After which a twist got here earlier this week that Simu Liu, finest recognized for his function because the titular Shang-Chi within the MCU, shared that he was “working with the rights holders to convey Sleeping Canine to the large display screen.” Now, as shared in a report from IGN, evidently the movie is additional alongside than simply that.
In keeping with a supply near the challenge that spoke with IGN, the film is at the moment in improvement, and Liu himself is about to each produce the movie, in addition to play the lead function of Wei Shen. Particulars appear to be fairly scant except for that, so we’ll have to attend and see if Sq. Enix, writer of the unique recreation, makes any form of announcement. Presumably the movie might be produced by Unique Movie, the studio that was set to make the unique adaptation with Yen within the lead function, until the variation rights have shifted to a different studio.
Sleeping Canine initially got here out in 2012, and was met with optimistic evaluations just about throughout the board. It was typically in comparison with Grand Theft Auto, albeit set in Hong Kong, and whereas it is beloved by followers, some lofty gross sales expectations from Sq. Enix meant {that a} sequel by no means materialised. Fingers crossed for all you followers on the market {that a} movie adaptation might really get a sequel made!
